Former President, John Dramani Mahama, has stated that it is time for the government to take farmers seriously. He made this comment as he celebrated farmers today.
“I celebrate all farmers on this auspicious occasion for their priceless efforts that feed us and keep our industries running.”
Former President John Mahama explained that government must now take farmers seriously because of the gradual worsening of the Ghanaian economy.
“With Ghana’s economy on the brink of collapse, as proven by Rating Agencies through their unending downgrades, and the hardship it has brought to many homes, this is the time for the government to begin to take farmers and farming-related businesses seriously.”

Mahama further explained that prioritizing the farming business will reduce the level of imports which will further have an impact on the exchange rate.
